1.8L Turbo Kit

[SonicBoy24]

the 1.4 people will talk all they want, but that extra .4 liters with proper internals and an appropriate sized turbo....

if its built properly i dont see how the 1.4 guys are still talking.

The 1.4L boys will always talk, until a proven 1.8L shows up.

That is just the facts. I would love to see someone do it.

Honestly, when I do get around to building the 1.8 and using a turbo, I only plan on 200-225 WHP. Should remain fairly reliable and driveable. Any more power will be the job of my 98 Z24, with the goal of a reliable 325-350 WHP from a 2.3 or 2.4L.

My offer still stands. Send me a car and you'll leave with a kit.

Tell me those parts are in the back of a 1.8?!
and why are you jk? :/

 

[mitdr774]

Yes Z24 as in Cavalier. Laugh all you want. I am used to it. I guess a Cavalier running 12s is amusing??

We are on a forum with people that modify Sonics, a car technically a step down form what a cavalier would be in the market (Cruze).

So true. I like my Sonic but there are moments when I miss my supercharged Cavalier.

12's are fast for a cavy, I used to have a 5 speed, but its still a cavy.
no offense, I still love and miss that car, but, still.

Here is a cavy worth its weight in gold.

That's unfortunate

That's doable, but will take longer than a couple days, and be more expensive. If the tuner isn't busy and I can rent a dyno for a day, then expect a week of downtime. But expect to bring $$$. HP tuners + a custom tune won't be cheap.

Why Hp tuners?

 

[mitdr774]

HPT does not support the ECM in the 1.8 cars.

 

[$ub$onic]

Guess you will be using a trifecta tune

I was unaware hpt doesn't support 1.8. Seems odd that it wouldn't. Trifecta it is, then

The statement still stands, tuning software + licence + custom file + dyno time = money. Easily enough to out shadow my fab time.

not really. trifecta tune is cheap. no dyno required.

Per their site, 450/hr for first 2 hours. 145/hr after. You can't run a turbo with upgraded injectors on a Na tune.
